Agree with that, Steve. There's no right tool objectively, only subjectively
I've tried them all, StarTools, Siril, Photoshop, PI, APP. They've all got strengths and weaknesses, and you just have to choose what works for you.
StarTools is great software, and I use it sometimes for specific things I find it's excellent at. I'll edit an image multiple times in different programs then layer blend the best bits in Photoshop! But that's my workflow and we've all got a different approach.
